Cuisinart Pro Classic Food Processor #DLC-10S

We had a tough time setting up Cuisinart's seven-cup Pro Classic food processor — it was especially tricky to assemble the blades and lock the lid — but there's an in-depth instruction manual and DVD to help you along. Once the appliance is set up, it'll chop, mince, slice, julienne, and grind with the best of them, and it's quiet to boot. Plus, you can toss all of the removable pieces into the dishwasher when you're done.

Capacity: 7 cups
